Hi,

Okay, this is an usual 'summary' but the 'Trojan virus' is becoming
widespread. I would like to ask all members of this group who read their
(tru64-unix-managers) email on Windows 95/98/NT workstation to check their
(and their colleagues) workstation for this worm virus.

More information regarding this virus and links to various anti-virus
vendor resources can be found in the following CERT advisory:
        Advisory CA-99.06 - ExploreZip Trojan Horse Program
        ( http://www.cert.org/advisories/CA-99-06-explorezip.html )

Thanks to the following people for their various comments:
          Jonas Furrer <Jonas.Furrer_at_BFI.admin.ch>,
          Dayv Gastonguay <noghri_at_nauticom.net>,
          David Hull <David_Hull_at_Jabil.com>,
          Penny Jaye Deeney <penny_at_temple.edu>

Regards,
Rich
